I 'nu.r rin.4: ui. r. loaded; Water Supply is Inadequate MUST BE SOMETHING DONE And That, Quickly Anoth er Estimate of "Situation Cared For for Many Years to Come" Smashed to Flinders The municipal electric . plant must be enlarged. John E. Weyher, super intendent of water and lighte, told the City Council Wednesday night that something must be done quickly to relieve the strain upon the plant and take care of additional business. In a report Mr. Weyher aaid: , " "Especially do I desire to ? direct your, attention to what may -be ex pected to foe its condition in the near future if the service increases as it has in the recent past The plant fa what is ordinarily known at a double unit plant. This means two engines and two generators. Their maximum capacity is 1,000 horsepower. At present they are being, operated at 776. horsepower, which makes it nec essary for both units to be in con stant use, and when anything is nec essary to be done to 'either unit a part of ;fhe city is compelled to re- main in darkness during the reparra. Application has been made to the de partment for .power to the extent of 400 additional horsepewer. The ap plicants Will expect this service about the ' 1st of Aril. Ait present tho city cannot furnish in excess of 1,000 horsepower, which would leave it short, 175 horsepower p applications heretofore made. . "The plant now has four boilers. Of these .three are in constant us?, and are much overloaded, with the re sult that a great amount of excess fuel is necessary. One boiler is used whenever repairs to either of the other three become necessary. Gee, Whiz! "I'also desire to direct the atten tion of the council to the present in adequate water supply, "I recommend to the council that it make immediate investigation along the lines which I have men tioned to the end that the necessary provisions may, be made to give the city service. Necessarily the plant will have to run during the winter months in a greatly overloaded con dition." - Superintendent Weyher urged cm--ployment of an engineer at once and declared he could not too strongly uige (the, necessity for immediate con sideration of the situation. The consideration .was had, all right, immediately. Council will study the situation with a view to taking steps as soon as practicable. What the expense will be is not certain. It U believed it will amount to a sum Well in excess of $50,000.
